Icon6 vitara y8 running on 2 cylinders

complete d16y8 swap with z6 manifold and obd0 dizzy vitara pistons, pretty much everything else is stock, dx to mpfi wiring harness but no resistor box i just twisted the wires together as known,
car gets fuel on all cylinders and spark, but its not running on cylinder 1&3 i think it could be the timing but ive tried it a million different times and it still wont run right, i need some help thanks

its a chipped obd1 p28 and i have a conversion harness, i used to have a d15b2 block and z6 head same injectors same manifold on my new motor, im not sure what dizzy it is, but it was on the motor when i got it and it ran like that, im not sure if its an obd0 dizzy because it bolts right up i think they may have changed the plugs to obd0 but i really have no idea what the f it could be, it runs on 2 cylinders like a champ and dumps fuel out number one exhaust port

its the same ecu thats been ran on like 4 different motors, just launch control and 9k rev limiter and 54k vtec, but its the dizzy that came with the car and the guy said it ran fine i think its an obd0 ls ecu and we changed the plugs to obd1 plugs to match the ecu and harness
